BON Homme STILL ON DECK.

The Land of Corn nnd Wheat and Oats
and Flax and steers and Porkers
Ready for the Season ofISsG.
Hancock, BON Homme County, Da-
kota, March 1S-Correspondence Prest
and Dakotaian-This section of one oil
the banner counties of the west is in
comfortable condition after the winter
siege. Snow has disappeared, excepting
in deep clutches, frost is nearly out OF
the ground and farmers have commenced
seeding. / see by the papers that north
Dakota ia still partially under snow,
while in south Dakota the wintry mantle
has been removed and the farmers are
busy in their fields. 1 do not incline
towards the north, with it's one crop OF
wheat and that so often a failure that
our Legislatures are called upon to pro-
vide for the agricultural sufferers. If I
was a n%ortherner l would move south
ward where corn is king, the lusty
porker f~attens, the frisky steer elevates
his heels on the grass clad hills and
wheat, oats, fax, barley and rye never
fail to respond to the influences OF the
soil.
Here in Hancocktownship our farmers
thrive with varied crops of cereals and
ven ct this time CT the year their bins
are filled with the products they Dc not
need to sell until prices are favorable.
In our section farmers are comfortably
supplied with money and are prosper
ing, while their brethren in the frozen
north are enduring privations I would
not care to share. I would advise peo-
pie coming to Dakota to settle in the
south part. : i have been in the west all
life and have lived in Bon Homme
county fifteen years and can say from
experience and conscientIously that the
extreme southern part OF Dakota is the
finest farming and stock growing region
I ever saw. My advice to the world is
to come to south Dakota.
I notice that Grover vetoed the de-
pendent pension bill. ALL right. All
us old soldiers will remember it and will
see it we can't keep him from vetoing
the next pension bill. I am an ex-
soldier and q democrat and am entitled
to my opinion in the case.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1887-07-13

A mail and passenger train on the
Pennsylvania railroad ran through
from Altoona to Pittsburg with crude
coal Oil for fuel. There was not a
lump Of coal nor a stick Of wood on
It, but instead tank in the tender
from which the oil was conveyed
through pipes to the furnace. Theex.
pertinent is pronounced "a complete
success" G food time was made, and
what is still more interesting to the
travelling public, 'fthere was no an,
noyance from smoke or cinders. ="
The oil is said to be cheaper fuel than
coal, and if this be true many OF the
great roads will probably run their
passenger trains with it. Such a
thing is the substitution Of crude oil
for coal on all trains on all roads
would be surprising.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1887-07-13

The Condition of Wheat, Corn, Oats and
Barley in Different Portions of thu, Terri
tory.
Territorial Veterinarian j. G. Alloway, after
an extended trip throughout the territory
writes of the crop prospects as follows: The
average crop of wheat, oats, barley and corn
is perhaps, speaking generally, larger than
was ever known before in the territory In
the wheat belt on the Red river valley
proper the area of wheat sown is greater
than that of 1856, and che entire
crop is universally pronounced the
finest for many years-Traill, Grand
Forks. Walsh and Pembina counties have
never seen a finer crop, and If nothing hap
pens to materially interfere with what now
appears to be an assured crop, the yield will
undoubtedly be the largest ever known
in the vally. There are few localities in
the central portion Of the territory that
have suffered somewhat from drouth, but
